Portugal’s balmy playground has rarely looked more alluring than when you are sat on the terrace of spectacular Villa MU14 – a seven-bedroom retreat set high on a hill, with views stretching across the Algarve to the glittering
Atlantic Ocean beyond. Enjoy them over long lazy lunches on the al fresco terrace; soak them up from one of two expansive pools (there is a smaller pool especially for younger family members); admire them as you wander through the lush gardens, and relax in a shaded corner.

With its calming all-white interiors and
countryside setting, MU14 is also wonderfully peaceful. And with plenty of space it’s also ideal for larger gatherings – there are seven bedrooms, all with private bathrooms. The outdoor space, with a kitchen, is just made for entertaining. Enjoy convivial barbecues and soak up those views afresh, with an orchestra of cicadas strumming in the background, friends and family gathered around you and a sea of twinkling lights stretched our far below you.
